Gov. Gavin Newsom continues to push California into a redistricting cold war amid President Trump's bid to bolster House Republicans' power ahead of the midterm. Why it matters: Trump has positioned Texas Republicans' redistricting efforts as a strategy for GOP congressional control,

Newsom and California Democrats proposed new congressional lines on Friday in an attempt to eliminate potential gains in Texas, where Republicans backed by Donald Trump launched a nationwide redistricting battle with nakedly partisan ambitions ahead of midterm elections in 2026.

California Democrats introduced a legislative package to call a special election in November to redraw the state's congressional districts to counter GOP efforts in other states.

As Texas hurtles toward a flashpoint on a GOP effort to redraw congressional districts, California Democrats are answering with a plan of their own.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced a special election for Nov. 4 to approve redrawn districts. The move aims to gain five more U.S.

Republicans claim California is more gerrymandered than Texas, based on a simple partisan calculation. Experts say such a comparison is one of many useful but imperfect measures to quantify gerrymandering.
